What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Wound infiltration by BupivacaineDrug

    Subcutaneous and subrectal infiltration with 0.25 % Bupivacaine diluted in 20 ml normal saline before closure of the wound

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Postoperative wound pain: VAS

    Postoperative wound pain will be assessed using visual analogous scale (VAS) ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain imaginable). Mean values will be calculated and compared between the three groups

    Measured: first 24 hours postoperatively

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Total dose of opioid drugs needed

    Total dose of extra opioid drugs needed to achieve postoperative analgesia

    Measured: first 24 hours postoperatively

  2. Incidence of nausea and vomiting

    Number of patients experiencing nausea and vomiting

    Measured: first 24 hours postoperatively

  3. Incidence of urine retention

    Number of patients experiencing urinary retention

    Measured: first 24 hours postoperatively

  4. Incidence of hypotension

    Number of patients experiencing hypotension

    Measured: first 24 hours postoperatively

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Wound infiltration by Bupivacaine and Wound infiltration by Pethidine in people with Obstetric Pain, run by Ain Shams University at 1 site in Egypt.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Aug 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Egypt. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Postoperative wound pain: VAS (time frame: first 24 hours postoperatively). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 31 Aug 2018.
